She was not trying ...I must have missed something. She was not trying to determine which school was the biggest rival of the Univ. of Texas, but rather simply stating which cheerleading squad the Texas Cheerleaders had their own rivalry with.<BR/><BR/>Her words: "But yes, we have rivalries -- they follow the football team loyalties. Texas Tech is our biggest rival, though it doesn't really show on the field because it's not like we (the cheerleaders) are competing head to head with each other." <BR/><BR/>Seems pretty simple to me. I dont understand all the confusion. <BR/><BR/>As for their rivalries following the football teams loyalties; well, I guess it does. They can't really choose Texas A&M, as the Aggies don't have any cheerleaders. That leaves them with OU and Texas Tech (at least for conference teams that they play every year, and have been playing for a long time). They have simply opted for the Tech girls.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, and as for the "Scoreboard, bitches" comment. I don't get it either. I have figured out that it means they defeated your time in a game (or maybe even own a series), but it could quite possibly be the most ignorant sounding thing in the world. <BR/><BR/>I am not one to Police Grammar on the Internet, but it is pretty brutal. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Texas Tech, their fans love the phrase "We got scoreboard!" Talk about ignorant! That makes this poor Texas Cheerleader look like a Rhodes Scholar. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, now you know what it is like to deal with Longhorns and Raiders on a daily basis. The Raiders are striving for the "worst fans" trophy, while Texas students are making a great run at the "I am so arrogant, and have no reason to be" award. <BR/><BR/>Later...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1147462412072058802006-05-12T15:33:00.000-04:002006-05-12T15:33:00.000-04:00As a Texas grad, I'd have to say that the UT / Tec...As a Texas grad, I'd have to say that the UT / Tech matchup has been a hell of a lot more competitive over the past decade or more than the UT / A&M matchup. The Aggies have fallen further into suckdom, while Tech's put together a pretty nice program. Tech also has some of the finest looking co-eds in the Big 12, so that's always a perk when playing them.

Even the middle school cheerleaders in Texas could correctly identify university rivals. There is an exception, however. Tech's biggest rival would have to be Texas, but the opposite is not true. So I am going to assume that she grew up somewhere close to Lubbock and was inundated with all sorts of media claiming that Texas was Tech's big rival. She was just never told that Tech was Texas' big rival.
